Insight Into The Forthcoming Campaign

Ivan Maisel over at ESPN agrees that the upcoming campaign is just heating up. His article recognizes that we have been anxiously awaiting the start of the campaign for months (since January possibly?) and that "[a]utumn beckons, promising a hard-fought race that, no matter how bitter, will lead us to the traditional transition of power in January." While the pundits have been reluctant to hand Pete the lead in the early polls, Mr. Maisel confirms our belief that "[t]he West will continue to be dominated by California -- USC to be accurate. The Trojans have blown through the tacit term limits imposed by graduation. They are favored to win their seventh consecutive league championship. No other Pac-10 school has ever won more than four in a row."

Couldn't have said it better.
